  • Comments: It's a small race, but it has a lot of fast racers, so check your ego at the door. I liked the fact that it was closer to Houston than most races that are in the 'burbs. Given it is flat, and it doesn't have a swim, the race also attracts some beginners. If you are a beginner, make sure you are comfortable on the bike, as lot of people will be passing you (it's a three lap course). Outloud's races are well run, but have less frills than OnUrMark... although they cost about $20 less. For example, there are no finishers medals. Frills are less important to the seasoned veteran, but may be important to someone doing a race for the first time.

  • Comments: Outloud always puts on good races. There are less frills than at OUM's races, but I like to race with them. I will say the water bottles and shirts they gave out seemed pretty nice and there was plenty of food.

  • Comments: Well organized and friendly volunteers. 3 laps started to get a little crowded on the bike, though. Other than that, fun race!
